- MVMarina· October 8th, 2023Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishDas Team ist wirklich super lieb und alle sind sehr bemüht, das beste Erlebnis für die Gäste zu kreieren. Ich hatte eine wundervolle Zeit und war sehr beeindruckt. Einziger Verbesserungspunkt: Vorab wurden Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten abgefragt - dafür gab es aber keine Alternativen. Ein Beispiel hierzu, an einem Abend gab es Fleisch mit Beilagen in Butternut irgendwas. Ich bin allergisch gegen Nüsse. Musste daher alles, was mit Butternut in Berührung war weglassen und hatte daher nur ein „halbes Menü“, da wie gesagt keine Alternative vorhanden war. Ebenso für Vegetarier. Das Fleisch wurde dann einfach weg gelassen, aber auch hier keine Alternative für ein volles Menü. Fand ich sehr schade, denn wozu wird das im Voraus dann abgefragt. Das ist ein Punkt, der noch verbessert werden sollte. Ansonsten wirklich ein absolut tolles Erlebnis. Würde ich auch wieder buchen.Show more
Viva Safaris commented on this reviewThank you for the review Marina
Trip date: October 2023 - LMLauren· January 17th, 2020Everyone was lovely and we had a wonderful time! Transportation was well-coordinated, the lodge was beautiful, and our accommodations were comfortable and cool. Each of the guides and trackers works very hard during the outings to spot as many different animals as possible and let you view them in a reasonably safe environment. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience both in Kruger and the greater Kruger area.Show moreViva Safaris commented on this reviewThank you Lauren for a wonderful review!

Diana
Asked on March 5th, 2024I am a female travelling with my 20 month old daughter and am inquiring about whether this is a suitable tour to bring her along with me.
Viva SafarisOperator•Written March 2024While it is possible, it will be extremely difficult. Some things to keep in mind: - We don't have childcare facilities at the lodge - The transfer from Johannesburg to Kruger is long and you will be in the shuttle most of the day. - The full day game drive in Kruger can't be shortened to come back earlier - it's a very long day and will be very tough on a little one. If she's unsettled/upset during this drive it will negatively impact other guests on the drive too. I don't want to put you off, I just want to make you aware of the difficulties and challenges, especially as you are traveling by yourself so you won't have any assistance at all.

Asked on May 30th, 2023I read that the tour ends at 5pm in Johannesburg. I was wondering if this really the latest and if sufficient time for e.g. traffic jams were included. My flight is leaving at 7pm and hence I would have little time for delays. Alternatively is there a possibility to leave earlier?
- Viva SafarisOperator•Written May 2023
This is the usual time we arrive back in JHB. Sometimes it is earlier. Unfortunately we cannot predict traffic jams or other unforeseen events but if you mention to the driver and the lodge staff that you have a flight at 7pm then he will do his utmost to get you to the airport as quickly as possible.

Asked on January 30th, 2023If i wanted to do this trip for 5 people, but we have our own car to drive from J/B and back can you do this and will you reduce the price?
- Viva SafarisOperator•Written January 2023
We do have availability and there would be a reduction in price - R500 ZAR per person per way (ie R1000 per person both ways so R5000 in total)

Hannah
Asked on July 31st, 2022Could you let us know an estimated distance of the walk? Are there stops on the way? Is the path flat or has steep uphill downhills?
- Viva SafarisOperator•Written August 2022
It is not done at a strenuous pace and the area covered is quite flat so most guests do not have any problems. Guests who really don't feel comfortable with the bush walk can opt for a game drive instead during the same period.

Laura
Asked on May 9th, 2022Is there anything that I could do to be able to see Blyde River Canyon? It is a part of the safari package and something I would really like to see during my time in South Africa. I would be willing to pay an additional fee if necessary.
- L
Laura
Traveler•Written May 2022If it's absolutely not possible, I will probably still book this package. But I'm wondering if there would be a cost reduction to make up for the change in itinerary?
- Viva SafarisOperator•Written May 2022
The Blyde Canyon stop is only a 1 hour stop at the free-to-visit viewpoint, so doesn't really have a cost involved that can be deducted unfortunately. We do however absorb the additional cost of the third party shuttle.

Asked on May 4th, 2022What is your cancellation policy IF covid19 surges again?
- Viva SafarisOperator•Written May 2022
We allow for booking postponements to a future date of your choosing with no penalties or additional fees. This can be open ended if unsure of a new date straight away. TourRadar calls this "Credit for Future Tours" and the payment made is held by them until you are ready to book again. For outright cancellations there is a cancellation fee of 25%. We do have availability in August for the dates selected.

Asked on March 18th, 2022Do you facilitate COVID testing so that we can get back home? The United States requires testing within 24-hours of boarding our flight and we would be flying home at 11:10pm from JHB the day our tour ends.
- Viva SafarisOperator•Written March 2022
Yes we can - there is a clinic in Hoedspruit that can do the tests - we can take guests there the day before the safari ends, so that you get your results emailed to you the following day, before your flight

Colin
Traveler•Written March 2022The problem with our timing is that our flight is at 11:10pm on the day our tour ends and the United States requires testing within 24-hours of flight boarding. Is it possible to get tested the last day of our tour and get our results back?
- Viva SafarisOperator•Written March 2022
Are you sure that the requirement is "within 24 hours" and not just "within 1 day of departure" which would mean that a test from the prior day would be acceptable? The clinic in Hoedspruit says they open at 8am which means we could try and get you there on your departure day, but we cannot guarantee your results would arrive in time for when you need them.

Colin
Traveler•Written March 2022You are correct, it is within 1-day. I misinterpreted that to mean 24-hours. The day before the tour ends will work. Thank you!
